Harnett County Opioid Task Force
The North Carolina Opioid Settlement funding is providing $11.5 million to Harnett County over the next 18 years. This encouraged the creation of the Harnett County Opioid Task Force in September 2022.
The Harnett County Opioid Task Force is a group of community members, local organizations, health care professionals, law enforcement, educators, and other relevant stakeholders, working together to prevent overdoses and harmful substance abuse.
The Opioid Task Force presented the proposed Strategic Plan at the Board of Commissioners Work Session Meeting on September 12. You can watch the presentation here or view the document in the September 12 agenda packet here.
